Last Masters Ticket Up For Grabs at Texas Open
2 Apr
Summary
- The Valero Texas Open is the final Masters tune-up for PGA Tour players.
- An outright winner not yet invited gets the last Masters spot.
- Brian Harman seeks to improve his season's results at the event.
The Valero Texas Open is taking place this week, providing a final opportunity for PGA Tour players to hone their skills before the Masters Tournament. Englishman Tommy Fleetwood is the headline act at TPC San Antonio.
For golfers not already invited to Augusta National, winning the Texas Open offers the final coveted ticket to the Masters, a scenario that occurred in 2022 and 2024. Collin Morikawa withdrew due to a back injury, but notable players like Russell Henley, Ludvig Aberg, J.J. Spaun, and Hideki Matsuyama are in contention.
Defending champion Brian Harman, who won last year with a score of 9-under-par 279, is looking to turn his season around. He has focused on the mental aspects of his game, aiming for more consistent performances.
The TPC San Antonio course is described as a demanding par-72, 7,438-yard track that requires precise ball control and patience, especially given the windy conditions.
